I hate to contradict, but 30 minutes is no where near long enough. It
took Adric almost an hour to react to his rabies shot last year and I
had left the vet's office. I ended up pulling a wild U-turn on NC 54
and heading to the emergency clinic since it was after hours for the vet
by then. The reaction was a mixture of vomiting, diarrhea, dry heaving,
and general misery for the little guy.
Please, please, please, make it a full hour before you leave the vet's
office, and don't schedule for the last appointment of the day. I
learned that lesson the hard way.
All the best,
Caity
